How To Turn On Tooltips
/script GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Show);

Secondly, you will need to turn off the tooltips to click on the pumpkin to get things rolling (you will lose the item info/name on items/clicks from now on). After the event, you will need to enable, or turn "on", the tooltips once again.

I am sure that blizz will fix this soon, but for the time being, you can use your macros. And best of all, no more disconnecting! Thanks again Dyneth!
